Future Enterprises owns a 25 percent stake in Future Generali India Insurance Company and a 33 percent stake in Future Generali Life Insurance.

The Future group is facing financial trouble after its Rs 24,713-crore deal to sell its retail, wholesale, logistics, and warehousing assets to Reliance Industries Ltd., announced in August 2020, could not materialise.

The deal was called off by Reliance in April after it failed to get lenders' support.
